More off-topic news. My aunt, Nina Romano, has an excerpt from her upcoming novel featured in the Spring 2005 edition of Dimsum Literary Journal .

"Edited by Nury Vittachi and published three times per year, Dimsum is available worldwide through major wholesalers in America and Britain and directly to readers through leading online booksellers in the USA, Britain, Canada and Asia." Dimsum features "short stories, poetry and selected non-fiction by Asian authors or on Asian themes."

In addition to my aunt's work, this edition features contributor pieces by Thomas Keneally (author of Schindler's List) and Yu Hua (author of To Live and Chronicle of a Blood Merchant). I have added a direct link to the journal under the "Links" section in the left sidebar. Or, simply click here. Check it out today!
